Worth replacing?

Hey everybody!

So I've been checking out new Nexus 9 lately and I like it very much.

So I've been thinking, I have an Asus k52j laptop, which is pretty old and beaten up. Gaming is out of question, so I use it pretty much for studying and consuming media (youtube, watching movies etc.) So I wanted to know if it's a good idea to sell my laptop and get myself nexus 9, it would be much easier to bring it with to university and such, but I'm not sure. 

P.S. obviously if I get nexus, I'm getting the keyboard too, because typing on touchscreen is pain the the butt..

well its not windows so its not really as useful, and if all you are doing is that stuff then a laptop would be fine.

 

it may be best for you to get a good 2-in-1 laptop/ tablet instead

well, i would wait for later more in depth reviews and benchmarks because now you can't really tell if it is good and if it is worth it imo

 Well that is what I'm going to do, I'm not rushing or anything, just thinking.

 

well its not windows so its not really as useful, and if all you are doing is that stuff then a laptop would be fine.

 

it may be best for you to get a good 2-in-1 laptop/ tablet instead

 

2-in-1 is waay too expensive, I can't even afford 300$ tablet, I'll have to sell laptop to get one. About the ecosystem, I'm familiar with Android and have no troubles using office programs on my old SGS3.
